This report is incomplete. Which flag boy? Was he the one last year? Or in Endsars? Or yesterday?

You need to give readers background and context to stories. I am sure it's yesterday's protest since it's coming from Sahara Reporters but the story is missing dates. It is assuming any reader knows who is the flag boy. This is too poor for FP mods.

True GEJ didn’t arrest protesters, he killed them instead

Which bail money?

You think it is every body police release on bail money?
When sowore and other activists are involved.

Normally bail is free but when police noticed you dont have anyone to voice for you, they will cash out on you

If u be police here, why do u fight protesters? My dad served as a police man for 35 years, omo, hunger tearly near us when he retired. It was from hand to mouth when he was in service.
Police barracks are useless place, failed infractrucutures. I suffered before I could come of struggles and living fine now but I feel for my dad becus he just sufferef for nothing.
So, as a police man here, why do u support govt and u go with full force when u want to arrest protesters? Protesters are simply demanding that we get a better country. They want a country where u as a police man would be able to give ur kids quality life.
There is no quality life in the barracks and if u die, ur wives would be bleeped endlessly becus of hunger. Make una police and soldiers dey reason well o. Stop supporting politicians who have destroyed this country for u and ur kids. Dont ur kids deserve good lives too?
